Fifty Times Over (we own the world)

18626 days, if you’d like to know. That is fifty years. I had been thinking long and hard how to celebrate this moment, wrote a bunch of songs mocking myself, and remembering a past I forgot to live, but then I had to let them go, because their tunes did not catch on, and honestly, how...

The Story of My Light Heart

It’s been a busy year. Many concerts, many recordings. And here we are, I am turning 50 in a week or so, and the album, which I consider my best so far is in the vinyl factory, being pressed on beautiful translucent, cream color vinyl with glitter. Dark Matter, Light Heart by Kristóf...

The importance of likes and follows

The cursor was hovering over quietly the Like button. It was a quiet and sunny Sunday afternoon, with a few airplanes playing the background noise, and the echo of a few business meetings the internal monologue. You kept arguing with colleagues who long logged off, about statements they never...

There Are No Mountains (in my soul)

When you move countries, much like with most big changes in life, you first notice all the amazing things you moved for. A kind of honeymoon, if you like. And then slowly, as the new paradise becomes an everyday reality, you start noticing things that are not present anymore from your...

Live again! – Amsterdam edition

Its red walls, and wall chandeliers that shine with a yellowish light are captivating. It smells as an old theatre should. I really could not imagine a better place to perform in Amsterdam (and in The Netherlands) for the first time. Tickets Photo: Ben Lambers for Studio Aandacht I have...

Welcome to my audience

It took two exhausting years to make my first ever solo album. But we could also say forty-six. But it is there now, shiny and new, blurry and sharp, welcome to my audience. Photo by Ben Lambers for Studio Aandacht. I thought through every single word in the lyrics and placed them...
